Although I am not a cyclist I have no problem with the cycle lane on Hollis Street; however, the no stopping/no parking signs that were in position before the cycle lane was established still remain. These signs indicate that parking/stopping is not allowed between certain hours, implying that parking is allowed outside those hours. At least that was what I inferred one evening last week, and somewhat optimistically thought that this signage trumped the cycle lane regulations. Result - a $25 fine, which I promptly paid. I admit I made a mistake, and that ignorance of the law is no excuse, but perhaps HRM could see their way to removing these misleading signs.
